European Bioplastics (EUBP), the association representing the interests of around 80 member companies from the entire bioplastics value chain, welcomes the Commission’s proposal for a revised Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR).
At EUBP, we believe that our innovative materials can contribute to achieving the proposal’s objectives through the adoption of targeted measures that promote solutions based on biobased as well as compostable plastics.
The proposed amendments to the Commission’s PPWR proposal aim to make sure innovative materials, such as biobased as well as compostable plastics are being recognised and incentivised for their considerable role in reducing the Union’s dependency on fossil-fuels, reducing GHG emissions, protecting biodiversity, and in being a fundamental driver for Europe’s economic and social growth in full respect of environment protection rules.
